CONDITIONS OF SALE 


1, The highest Bidder to be the Buyer, and if any dispute arise 
between two or more Bidders, the Lot so in dispute shall be im- 
mediately put up again and re-sold. 


2. The Auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid which is 
merely a nominal or fractional advance, and therefore, in his 
judgment, likely to affect the Sale injuriously. 

3. The Purchasers to give their names and addresses, and to 
pay down a cash deposit, or the whole of the Purchase-money, if 
required, in default of which the Lot or Lots so purchased to be 
immediately put up again and re-sold. 


4. The Lots to be taken away at the Buyer’s Expense and Risk 
within twenty-four hours from the conclusion of the Sale, and the 
remainder of the Purchase-money to be absolutely paid, or other- 
wise settled for to the satisfaction of the Auctioneer, on or before 
delivery; in default of which the undersigned will not hold them- 
selves responsible if the lots be lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed, 
but they will be left at the sole risk of the Purchaser. 


5. While the undersigned will not hold themselves responsible 
for the correctness of the description, genuineness, or authen- 
ticity of, or any fault or defect in, any Lot, and make no War- 
ranty whatever, they will, upon receiving previous to date of 
Sale trustworthy expert opinion in writing that any Painting 
or other Work of Art is not what it is represented to be, use 
every effort on their part to furnish proof to the contrary; fail- 
ing in which, the object or objects in question will be sold subject 
to the declaration of the aforesaid expert, he being liable to 
the Owner or Owners thereof, for damage or injury occasioned 
thereby. 

6. To prevent inaccuracy in delivery, and inconvenience in the 
settlement of the Purchases, no Lot can, on any account, be re- 
moved during the Sale. 

7. Upon failure to comply with the above conditions, the money 
deposited in part payment shall be forfeited; all Lots uncleared 
within one day from conclusion of Sale shall be re-sold by public 
or prwate sale, without further notice, and the deficiency (if any) 
attending such re-sale shall be made good by the defaulter at 
this Sale, together with all charges attending the same. This Con- 
dition is without prejudice to the right of the Auctioneer to en- 
force the contract made at this Sale, without such re-sale, if he 
thinks fit. 

8. The undersigned are in no manner connected with the 
business of the cartage or packing and shipping of purchases, and 
although they will afford to purchasers every facility for em- 
ploying careful carriers and packers, they will not hold them- 
selves responsible for the acts and charges of the parties engaged 
for such services.

A sBuxom young Dutch girl, standing behind the counter of 
pork and sausage shop, is cutting a length of sausage from 
a long rope of the same which hangs suspended from pegs on a 
ceiling beam. A youth stands ready with a plate to receive the

of a single candle, which touches the different objects with a 
warm light and throws the background and general surround-

THE PILFERING SERVANTS 


A weEaLTHy gentleman, who has dined a little too well in his — 
sumptuous apartment, has fallen asleep in an easy chair at the 
close of his repast. A dish of fruit, two decanters nearly emptied 
of wine, and a wine glass stand on the table. An empty chair, 
turned to one side, and a great wine cooler suggest that the 
table companion of the sleeping host has left him. A waitress 
and a footman, the former helping herself from a silver dish 
of cakes, and the latter draining the last few drops from a 
wine bottle, stand at the other side of the table. The background 
is a brocade-covered wall with a richly carved doorway and 
various pictures. The light strikes the group from a window 
on the left. The costumes are of the late eighteenth century 
period.

a woman are playing a game of cards, and near them, on the

A gypsy woman in bright-colored costume, surrounded by chil-

MIDSUMMER MORNING 


A quiet pond on which three white ducks are swimming extends 
across the foreground and reflects the forms of great rounded 
trees and the summer sky above. On either side, under the trees, 


are open bits of pasture, and in a swale, between ranks of trees 
on either side, several cattle are feeding in the meadow. Small 
luminous clouds are scattered over the sky, which is veiled by a 


thin mist.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION 


Srx elderly citizens, apparently forming a rural committee, are 
assembled around a small table and are discussing the burning 
question of the hour. One of them has risen and is emphasizing 
his remarks by blows of his fist on the table, while the others sit 
around in various attitudes of attention and interest, with the 
exception of an old gentleman in the right foreground, who, hav- 
ing apparently made up his mind, now remains in an attitude of 
stolid indifference. The group is strongly lighted from the upper 
right, and on the wall in the background hangs a map of Canada 
and an engraved portrait of some prominent personage.

Along the path walks a hunter with game bag and gun, followed

THE GYPSIES OF GRANADA 


A company of gypsies with saddle and pack donkeys has halted 
at a village, and one of the men languidly listens to the music of 
a guitar played by one of his comrades to the entertainment of 
a comely peasant girl who sits beside him. The whole group is in 
strong sunlight, and the figures and animals are in strong relief 
against a roughly plastered brick wall.

HIDING 


A DARK-HAIRED young girl, dressed in white, is hiding behind a 
small apple tree in an orchard, apparently playing a game with 
a companion. The sunlight strikes the figure from above and be- 
hind, accentuating it here and there, and bringing it into strong 
relief against a background which suggests a New England 
farm where summer boarders are entertained.

4 A DRINK WITH THE SQUIRE 


Aw old gentleman in his old-fashioned dining-room is standing 
by the sideboard, holding a glass of sherry in his hand, in 
which action he is imitated by a coachman standing near, who 
has apparently been invited to refresh himself after a long 
drive. The interior, with its mahogany furniture, corner cup- 
board and other characteristic objects, suggests a New Eng- 
land dwelling of superior type, and recalls the days when hos- 
pitality of this sort was not uncommon.

1841— 


THE CONVALESCENT 


A Fair young invalid, half reclining upon a chaise-longue, is 
holding an animated conversation with her lover, who sits close 
beside her, leaning on the arm of the couch. A short distance 
away, in front of a screen, the mother sits absorbed in a novel, 
unconscious of the comedy being played in the same room. The | 
costumes and accessories are of the late eighteenth-century pe- 
riod. Through a looped-up portiére in the background is seen the 
interior of an adjoining room, lighted by a long window.

DELAWARE WATER GAP 


TuIs is a view taken from a considerable elvation overlooking 

a broad, fertile valley through which winds a placid river. In the 
deft f oreground two farmers are cradling grain, and on the right, 
in the river, is a large raft which has just floated under a railway 
bridge. From this point the eye travels across a succession of cul- 
tivated fields with scattered clumps of trees and hedges to the 
distance, where a long, level range of hills, with a single break 
through which the river flows, forms the horizon. The sky is 
nearly covered by cloud forms, touched here and there by sun- 
light.

HOISTING THE NIGHT SIGNAL 
Two men, in sailors’ dress, are about to hoist on the pier end 
red and blue lanterns to guide a Channel steamer to her landing. 
One of them carries both lanterns, while his mate, kneeling on 4 
the wet pavement, attaches the halyards, having just lowered the = 
day signal, which flutters against the mast. In the distance, wal- a 


lowing through the tumbling sea, is a steamer approaching the 
land, and a few seagulls fly along near the water.

AFTERNOON IN PARIS 


In the foreground are seated a young lady and her mother, both 
dressed in black, the latter reading a newspaper, and the former 
interested in some one not far away. They form part of a large 
company of pleasure seekers gathered under the thickly growing 
chestnut trees in a pleasant park or garden. In the middle dis- 
tance a large crowd is assembled near a band of music, and far- 
ther away can be seen a pleasant, sunlit, formal garden, with 


statuary and cut hedges.
